2,  made  from  box  annealed  “ Iron  Roofing  ” Sheets.  Either  of  these 
different  grade  materials  are  guaranteed  unexcelled  by  any  in  the  market. 

The  merits  of  the  Globe  “ Standing  Seam  ” Roofing  over  its  numer- 
ous competitors  and  imitators  consists  principally  in  its  superior  mechan- 
ical construction,  uniformity  and  high  grade  of  material  used,  neatness, 
durability  and  security. 

The  side  and  end  cleats  are  made  of  the  same  material  as  the  roof- 
ing, and  are  entirely  covered  by  the  roofing  sheets. 

No  nails,  rivets  or  punch  holes  being  either  through  the  standing 
seams  or  sheets,  leaves  no  exposure  or  breaks  in  the  metal  for  water  to 
accumulate,  or  rust  to  get  a start. 

Complete  forming  of  the  side  and  end  connections  of  the  sheets  at 
the  factory,  and  properly  painted  with  Globe  Iron  Oxide  Paint  before 
packing. 

Ease  and  facility  of  laying  on  roof.  The  sheets  being  accurately 
formed  by  machinery,  renders  it  almost  impossible  for  any  one  to  go 
wrong,  even  though  inexperienced,  in  applying  the  same.

Steel  Sheet  Roofing. 


GLOBB  STAMPING  SBAW  ROOFING. 

Best  Bloom  Steel  Sheets. 


STEEL  ROOFING  lias  been  growing  in  popular  favor  verjT  fast  dur- 
ing the  past  few  years,  and  would  at  this  time  be  in  general  use,  had 
it  been  possible  heretofore  to  obtain  this  desirable  material  at  a price  that 
rendered  it  possible  for  manufacturers  to  use  and  sell  the  same  at  any- 
thing like  a reasonable  figure. 

The  price  of  Steel  Sheets  is  now  so  near  the  price  being  paid  for 
best  bloom  Iron  Roofing  Sheets,  that  we  think  the  time  is  at  hand  when 
Steel  Roofing  will  soon  be  in  large  demand  by  all  those  desiring  the  very 
best  metallic  roofing  to  be  had. 

“ Sheet  Steel”  is  much  finer  grain,  stronger  and  more  durable  than 
any  other  metal  for  roofing  purposes.  Is  as  strong  and  tough  crossways 
of  the  sheet  as  lengthways  ; will  not  break,  crack  or  scale  in  the  least  in 
forming,  turning  locks  or  flashings,  and  needs  no  arguments  to  prove  its 
superiority  for  roofing  purposes. 

Our  Steel  Roofing  Sheets  are  2x8  feet  after  forming. 

A square  consists  of  6^3  sheets  and  weighs  80  pounds  after  laying, 
and  will  fully  cover  a square  10x10  feet  on  the  building. 

The  durability  of  Steel  Roofing  does  not  depend  on  the  thickness  of 
material;  as  is  often  supposed  by  many,  but  on  the  quality  of  the  metal, 
mechanical  construction,  and  quality  of  paint  used.  The  latter  of  which 
furnishes  a perfect  protection  against  rust. 

For  full  information  as  to  mode  of  laying,  cleats,  caps  and  tools 
needed,  same  as  for  Standing  Seam  Iron  Roofing.  See  pages  10  and  n. 


The  mechanical  construction  is  perfect.

Globe  Standard  Iron  Roofing, 


“STANDING  SEAM.” 


UR  Globe  Standing  Seam  Iron  Roofing  is  made  from  the  very  best 


selected  Box  Annealed  Iron  Roofing  Sheets,  annealed  in  a new  and 
improved  manner.  Each  sheet  is  warranted  perfect,  and  painted  on  both 
sides  with  our  well-known  “Globe  Metallic  Paint.”  Our  sheets  are  8 feet 
long  and  2 feet  wide,  and  weigh  about  twelve  pounds  each.  Sheets  io 
feet  long  furnished  when  specially  ordered.  These  sheets  are  adapted  to 
roofs  of  any  size  without  waste.  The  iron  can  be  easily  cut  and  spliced, 
by  means  of  lock  joints,  to  fit  any  openings,  vallej'S,  etc. 

Our  Globe  Standing  Seam  Iron  Roofing  is  in  use  in  every  State  in 
the  country.  More  than  ten  million  feet  now  in  use.  We  guarantee  it 
unsurpassed  in  every  particular,  and  it  is  admitted  to  be  the  most  reliable 
in  all  that  pertains  to  a 

orou  y\)\y  Rire,  Wind,  Water  and  Rust-P  roof  Roof. 

Its  simplicity  in  fitting  on  the  roof  is  fully  conceded  by  all  parties 
upon  examination.  Our  roofing  plates  are  prepared  at  the  factory  com- 
pleted, ready  to  be  laid  and  joined  together  on  the  roof,  instead  of  being 
partly  formed  at  the  shop  and  partly  while  on  the  roof,  which  renders  it 
almost  impossible  for  any  one  to  go  wrong  in  applying — all  sheets  fitting 
each  other  perfectly  and  true.  This  saves  about  one-half  the  labor  re- 
quired in  laying  most  other  kinds  of  roofing,  and  is  fully  ten  per  cent,  in 
favor  of  our  roof,  and  should  be  so  estimated  in  comparing  prices. 

Our  cleats  and  caps  are,  without  exception,  the  most  secure  and  dur- 
able of  any  others  used,  having  the  favorable  test  of  years  of  extensive 
use.  They  are  being  frequently  imitated  by  other  manufacturers,  but  in 
no  instance  excelled.

I HE  cut  page  15  shows  the  application  of  our  Read}'  Roll  Roofing. 

Many  roofers  prefer  making  their  standing  seams  on  the  building  to 
suit  a flat  roof  and  use  the  Ready  Roll  Roofing.  The  sheets  are  securely 
locked  and  grooved  together,  making  a perfect  joint  before  leaving  the 
factory.  The  standing  seam  is  turned  up  the  desired  height  by  the  use 
of  a tinner’s  tongs,  securely  nailed  to  the  sheathing  boards  with  the  use 
of  our  split  anchor  cleats.  The  caps  are  then  put  on  over  the  standing 
seams  and  countersunk  by  our  Countersinking  Tongs.  This  roofing 
makes  one  of  the  best  roofs  in  use  if  properly  put  on  by  some  roofer  or 
tinner,  and  is  largely  used  by  them  in  preference  to  any  other.  It  comes 
in  rolls  of  100  square  feet  after  the  standing  seam  is  turned  and  covers 
2 feet  in  width  besides  allowing  1 inches  on  each  side  for  the  standing 
seam,  is  easily  handled  and  costs  less  freight  than  boxed  roofing.

this  does  away  with  cutting  and  turning  locks  on  the  roof ; saves  time

FOR  ROOFING  AND  SIDING. 

I S largely  preferred  many  parties  on  account  of  its  perfect  provision 
^ against  contraction  and  expansion  of  the  sheets,  and  less  liability  to 
rattle  when  on  the  building. 

For  roofing,  the  ends  of  sheets  are  locked  securely  together,  same  as 
Excelsior  No.  5,  and  is  applied  in  same  manner.  For  siding  and  ceiling, 
sheets  are  lapped  at  sides  and  nailed,  and  at  ends  are  lapped  over  each 
other  about  one-half  inch  and  nailed.  Ridge  or  Comb  Capping  for 
Excelsior  V Roofing  is  usuall)-  made  by  letting  the  sheets  project  two 
inches  over  the  comb,  bending  over  and  nailing. 

We  recommend  the  use  of  Metal  Comb  Capping,  Fig.  27,  page  39. 
Thousands  of  squares  of  the  Excelsior  Iron  Roofing  are  in  use  all  over 
the  United  States.  From  the  largely  increased  demand  we  are  guaranteed 
in  stating  it  to  be  satisfactory  in  every  instance.  Easily  applied  and  made 
of  the  best  material — its  durability  and  worth  is  unquestioned.  No  tools 
are  required  for  applying  the  Excelsior  V Crimped  Roofing  except  a 
tinner’s  snips  to  cut  the  sheets  and  hammer  to  nail  with,

SPECIFY  kind  of  Roofing  wanted  and  also  give  the  number  of  same 
as  specified  on  page  4 ; this  will  avoid  any  possible  mistake.  Use 
one  of  our  loose  diagrams  as  below,  and  for  ridge  roof  allow  2 to  4 inches 
to  lap  under  at  eaves  and  same  at  ends  of  building.  No  comb  capping  is 
necessary  for  Standing  Seam  Roofing  (see  page  11.)  For  Excelsior  V

We  will  mail  a sample  (on  application)  of  any  of  our  roofings,  which 
will  more  readily  show  their  principle,  which  can  be  easily  understood. 
One  man  with  a helper  can  lay  from  12  to  15  squares  a day  on  an 
ordinary  roof.  The  prices  we  give  you  include  all  necessary  appliances, 
such  as  wire  nails,  cleats  and  caps  needed  for  each  square,  and  enough 
dry  metallic  paint  for  a finishing  coat  after  the  roof  is  laid.  Our  Globe 
Standing  Seam  can  be  used  on  as  flat  a surface  as  one  inch  fall  to  the 
foot  satisfactory,  but  good  judgment  would  suggest  to  parties  when  build- 
ing to  make  the  pitch  of  their  roofs  greater. 

SAFETY  FROM  LIGHTNING. 

Prof.  Mitchell  says : “ It  is  impossible  that  a building  covered 

with  iron  should  be  injured  by  lightning,  the  large  surface  of  the  metal 
scattering  the  electricity  and  rendering  it  harmless.”  Mr.  Merriman 
says:  “Few  persons  realize  the  protection  afforded  during  violent 
thunder  storms,  by  shelter  in  a building  covered  with  iron.” 

REDUCED  INSURANCE. 

Buildings  roofed  with  iron  are  insured  at  lower  rates  than  those 
covered  with  any  other  material ; and  iron  or  steel  roofing  will  pay  for 
itself  in  a vefy  few  years  by  the  reduced  insurance. 

CISTERN  WATER. 

Persons  using  the  water  from  iron  roofing  will  be  pleased  to  find 
how  much  cleaner  the  rain  water  is  than  from  a dirty  shingle  or  gravel 
roof.  The  covering  being  smooth,  the  wind  keeps  it  clean  from  all  dirt, 
leaving  none  to  be  washed  into  the  cistern.  Our  paint  being  made  from 
pure  oxide  of  iron  and  linseed  oil,  is  not  injurious. 

HOW  LONG  WILL  IT  LAST  ? 

We  have  frequently  been  asked  how  long  our  roofing  will  last,  and 
answer  by  saying  that  every  person  knows  that  as  long  as  iron  does  not 
rust  it  will  last,  and  if  it  is  kept  painted  it  will  not  rust.  There  is  never 
any  friction  on  the  under  side  to  wear  the  paint  off  the  sheets,  and  if  the 
upper  side  is  painted  every  four  or  five  years,  we  do  not  see  anything  to 
prevent  it  lasting  longer  than  any  building  it  may  be  put  on.

= = CAUTION.  = = 


Many  parties  are  quoting  Iron  Roofing  and  Corrugated  Siding  at 
prices  that  compel  them  to  use  the  very  lowest  grade  of  common  boiled 
iron  sheets.  All  such  should  be  avoided,  as  they  will  stand  no  tests  that 
are  requisite  for  perfect  work.  We  furnish  samples  on  application  of 
our  Standard  Refined  Boxed  Annealed  Doubled  Worked  Iron  or  Steel 
Sheets,  unpainted,  for  examination  and  comparison.  It  is  just  as  essen- 
tial that  you  inspect  your  iron  as  you  do  the  quality  of  the  lumber  or  any 
other  material  you  use.  The  cheapest  is  often  the  dearest  in  the  end. 

Remember  that  double  worked  Box  Annealed  Iron  Sheets  are  double 
as  durable,  as  they  will  not  scale,  carrying  the  paint  with  it,  as  does  the 
common  iron  used  by  many  irresponsible  makers  who  have  no  reputation 
to  sustain. 

Avoid  complicated  and  inferior  roofs.  Our  Globe  Standing  Seam 
and  other  roofings  are  guaranteed  as  represented,  and  we  invite  your 
attention  to  them  before  placing  your  orders.

can  not  be  made  in  the  ordinary  way,  having  uniform  depth  of  corruga-

I ORRUGATED  Iron  has  been  the  preferred  form  of  metallic  covering 

^ for  manj"  years,  and  its  well  known  and  superior  qualities  are 

so  generally  admitted  as  to  need  of  but  little  comment.  Its  superior  arch- 
itectural appearance,  as  well  as  its  durability , cheapness  and  effectiveness , 
have  secured  its  general  adoption  by  many  manufacturers,  railroad  com- 
panies and  builders,  and  is  being  generally  adopted  by  all  who  give  its 
merits  any  comparison  with  other  materials.  It  is  the  strongest  known 
form  of  Sheet  Iron,  and  imparts  material  strength  to  the  structure  to 
which  it  is  attached. 


We  use  only  the  best  double  worked  Box  Annealed  Sheets  of 
even  quality,  and  guarantee  them  made  from  the  very 
best  material,  and  seldom  equaled. 

Corrugated  Iron  has  no  equal  as  a covering  material  for  buildings. 
It  is  fire,  water,  wind  and  lightning  proof.  It  is  cheap,  light  and  durable ; 
allows  for  the  use  of  a light  frame,  being  a support  itself.  Its  advan- 
tage as  a protection  against  fire  is  demonstrated  by  Insurance  Companies 
rating  it  with  brick  and  other  fire-proof  structures,  and  the  reduced  in- 
surance will  soon  reimburse  parties  in  full  for  the  cost  of  their  iron.  We 
cordially  invite  Architects,  Builders,  Manufacturers,  or  others,  who  con- 
template building,  to  correspond  with  us  before  making  their  contracts.

economical,  because  of  the  small  loss  needed  for  end  and  side  laps.  We

E make  a specialty  of  supplying  roofers,  tinners,  cornice-makers, 


^ and  other  metal  workers  with  all  the  various  styles  of  Corrugated 
Sheets  needed  in  their  designs  for  ceilings.  Panel  strips  of  metal  are 
usually  made  by  dealers  themselves,  of  different  widths  to  suit  their  fancy, 
and  can  be  done  as  cheap  or  cheaper  than  to  order  them.  The  same 
applies  to  metal  cornices.  Iron  ceilings  are  in  great  demand,  profitable 
to  the  roofer  or  tinner,  and  serviceable  and  satisfactory  to  the  consumer. 

The  Sheets  can  be  applied  directly  to  the  joists,  or  to  rough  sheathing 
over  the  joists,  or  over  old  plastered  ceilings.  Builders  and  all  practical 
men  know  it  is  useless  to  adopt  plaster  ceilings  in  business  houses,  fac- 
tories, etc.,  where  there  is  much  jarring  or  vibration  from  machinery  and 
handling  heavy  goods,  as  the  same  is  liable  to  soon  cause  the  plaster  to 
fall  off  Plain  iron  ceilings  are  no  more  expensive  than  plaster,  and  are 
much  superior  to  wood,  which  soon  shrinks  and  admits  dust  to  the  room 
below. 

The  advantages  of  metal  ceilings  are  numerous,  and  apparent  to 
architects  and  builders.  They  are  fire  and  water-proof,  not  liable  to 
crack  and  fall  off,  and  will  never  wear  out ; when  dingy  or  dirty  they  can 
be  washed  and  cleaned,  giving  a fresh  appearance,  and  can  be  painted  in 
different  colors  to  suit  the  taste.  Water  accidentally  spilled,  vessels  or 
hydrants  overrunning,  or  roof  leaking,  will  not  do  injury  to  this  kind  of 
work. 


We  guarantee  all  our  Corrugated,  Crimped,  Beaded  and  Ceiling  Irons 


To  be  manufactured  of  best  soft,  annealed  and  pliable  material,  free  from

I S laid  on  same  plan  as  shingles.  Commence  at  the  eaves,  allowing 
A from  four  to  six  inches  projection,  lap  one  corrugation  at  sides  of 
sheets,  and  allow  from  two  to  four  inches  lap  at  ends  of  sheets.  Nail  at 
sides  through  top  of  lapped  corrugation,  about  eight  inches  apart,  and  at 
lapped  ends  of  sheets  through  top  of  every  other  corrugation.  Do  not 
put  any  nails  at  all  through  interior  of  sheet  or  at  bottom  of  corrugation. 
For  better  security,  we  recommend  the  using  of  oval  lead  washers  to  go 
under  nail  heads. 

For  Flat  Roofs,  we  recommend  using  thick  metallic  paint  between 
laps  at  ends  of  sheets  when  applying  the  Iron. 

For  Ridge  Roof,  nail  corrugated  wooden  ridge  joint  on  each  side  of 
ridge,  and  nail  the  Metal  Ridge  Cap  over  both  sides.  See  cut  on  pages 
39  and  40. 

We  recommend  three  inches  or  more  fall  to  the  foot  on  roofs  for 
Corrugated  Iron ; where  the  pitch  of  the  roof  is  greater,  less  than  four 
inches  end  lap  will  do.  Where  the  pitch  of  the  roof  is  less  than  above, 
we  recommend  you  to  use  our  Globe  “ Standing  Seam  ” Roofing,  as  it 
can  be  successfully  applied  to  pitch  of  one  inch  fall  to  the  foot.  See 
pages  8 and  9. 


FOE  SX33HTGI-- 


Commence  at  bottom,  running  first  row  across  side  of  frame,  lapping 
one  corrugation  on  side  of  sheets.  Put  second  row  on  in  same  manner, 
lapping  ends  of  sheets  down  over  the  top  of  first  row ; one  inch  is  suf- 
ficient for  this  lap  when  used  without  sheathing  boards.  The  studding 
should  be  formed  to  measure  from  center  to  center  to  correspond  with 
covering  width  of  sheet  (see  pages  25  and  30).  When  the  liability  of 
damage  from  outside  contacts  is  considerable,  heavier  guage  iron  should 
be  used  than  is  otherwise  necessary,  especially  on  lower  or  first  course. 
We  think  too  much  light  guage  iron  is  being  used,  and  recommend  No. 
24  or  No.  22  guage,  where  durability  rather  than  first  cost  is  considered. 

IFOIR.  IZROILT 

The  Side  Laps  should  be  riveted  every  eight  to  twelve  inches,  and 
End  Laps  on  every  other  corrugation. 

To  fasten  the  sheets  to  iron  beams  and  purlins,  a cleat  of  hoop  iron 
yi  or  7A  inch  wide  should  be  passed  around  the  purlins  or  beams, 
and  riveted  at  both  ends  to  the  sheet.  By  contracting  or  pressing  this 
cleat  toward  web  of  beams  or  purlins,  a tight  and  secure  fastening  is 
made,  which  allows  for  contraction  and  expansion  of  the  sheet.

sheet  to  slide  about  an  inch  before  the  nails  by  which  it  is  attached  im- 
pinge on  the  lower  sheet.  Each  sheet,  in  fact,  acts  independently,  as  the

HE  Ridge  or  Comb  Cappings,  Figs.  26  or  27,  in  connection  with  our 
Corrugated  Wood  Strips,  Fig.  28,  is  used  where  Corrugated  Iron  is 
put  on  for  roofing,  as  shown  in  Fig.  29  above;  is  in  general  use,  and 
makes  a neat,  tight  and  durable  comb  ; can  be  properly  put  on  by  any  one.

A very  secure  Comb  Capping  for  Excelsior  V Crimp  Roofing,  either 
No.  5 or  No.  6,  is  made  by  using  a plain  wooden  strip,  say  2 inches  wide 
23  inches  long  and  1 inch  thick,  to  go  between  the  V Crimp  at  top  of 
course  at  Comb  and  on  each  side,  nailing  same  into  sheathing  boards 
and  lapping  flange  of  Metal  Comb,  Fig.  27,  over  same,  and  nailing  into 
the  wood  strip.  This  is  better  than  lapping  tnd  of  sheets  over  top  of 
comb  and  nailing  through  the  sheets. 


Fig.  28. 


Corrugated  Wood  Strips,  Fig.  28,  are  flat  on  one  side,  going  next  to 
and  supporting  the  Metal  Cap,  and  corrugated  on  the  other  side  to  fit 
the  corrugations  on  the  corrugated  sheets,  and  are  used  only  for  our 
2^-inch  Nos.  10  or  inch  No.  13  for  roofing,  as  shown  fully  in  Fig.  29,

FIRE,  LIGHTNING,  WATER,  WIND  AND  RUST  PROOF. 

“'pHE  above  cut  shows  a frame  store  house,  entirely  covered  with 
iron  — viz.:  Globe  Standing  Seam  Roofing  and  Corrugated  Iron 
Siding,  doors,  windows  and  awning,  making  it  perfectly  fire  and  lightning 
proof  from  the  outside.  Considering  its  desirableness — affording  perfect 
security,  durability,  and  handsome  architectural  appearance — we  recom- 
mend it  to  merchants,  storekeepers,  or  those  contemplating  building,  as 
being  far  ahead  of  any  other  style  of  building,  and  is  particularly  adapted 
to  small  towns  and  villages  where  there  is  no  fire  department.  They  are 
easily  and  cheaply  kept  insured,  neat,  economical  and  durable.  If  you 
contemplate  building,  we  would  be  glad  to  make  you  an  estimate  for  the 
iron  needed  on  a building  of  this  description.  Please  state  size  of  build- 
ing, front  and  depth,  hight  of  sides,  and  pitch  of  roof ; also  number  and 
size  of  openings,  doors  and  windows.  For  a building  30x100  feet,  20 
feet  high,  pitch  to  roof,  would  require  about  35  squares  of  roofing,  and 
about  50  squares  of  corrugated  siding.  By  corresponding  with  us  and 
giving  exact  dimensions,  we  can  give  you  an  accurate  cost  and  amount 
of  iron  needed.  Prices  are  always  governed  by  the  price  of  sheet  metal, 
and  our  prices  will  always  be  as  low  as  the  metal  market  allows.

To  The  Globe  Iron  Roofing  and  Corrugating  Co.,  Cincinnati,  Ohio  : 

Gentlemen  : — The  Iron  Roofing  we  purchased  from  you  in  1885  has  given  good 
satisfaction — more  so  than  we  anticipated  it  would  at  time  of  purchase,  as  we  were 
credulous  in  regard  to  same.  It  now  affords  us  great  pleasure  to  state  that  in 
points  of  economy  of  material  and  labor,  as  well  as  durability,  it  can  not  be  equaled 
by  any  other  roofing  material.  We  now  have  five  large  buildings  under  cover  of 
your  Globe  Standing  Seam  Roofing,  all  in  good  condition.  We  expect  to  make  some 
additions  to  our  large  stock  barn  in  the  spring,  and  will  undoubtedly  use  the  “Old 
Reliable.”  We  think  a building  under  iron  roofing  is  better  protected  from  lightning 
than  by  using  rods,  regardless  of  number. 

Very  respectfully,  PENNEBAKER  BROS.

and  Corrugated  Siding.  We  have  been  using  the  same  for  the  past  three  years  ; first 
on  our  elevator,  on  which  we  used  both  Standing  Seam  Roofing  and  Corrugated 
Siding  with  perfect  satisfaction  ; since  then  on  our  store  house  and  several  other 
large  buildings.  We  heartily  recommend  your  goods  to  those  building  or  contem- 
plating building,  as  the  same  have  in  every  instance  been  satisfactory  and  perfect 
in  every  respect,  and  just  as  you  stated  them  to  be  to  us  when  we  first  purchased.

Globe  Iron  Roofing  Co.: 

Gentlemen:  — During  the  last  season  we  used  several  hundred  squares  of 
the  Globe  Standing  Roofing  in  our  city  and  vicinity.  Our  city  was  visited  last 
month  by  a terrific  conflagration,  burning  several  squares.  The  large  cotton  ware- 
house of  Messrs.  Burton  & Johnson  was  in  great  danger,  but  saved  by  the  protection 
afforded  by  the  Globe  Roofing  we  put  on  last  year  for  them.  Since  the  fire,  our  city 
was  visited  by  a violent  cyclone,  which  blew  down  walls  and  buildings,  unroofing 
many  covered  with  tin  and.  shingles.  Am  glad  to  say  that  not  a Globe  Roof  but 
stuck  fast  where  placed,  although  in  very  exposed  positions.  We  consider  it  the 
cheapest  and  best  roof  now  in  the  market. 

Respectfully  yours,  HELENA  JOB  WORKS.

Sir  : — It  affords  me  pleasure  to  state  that  I consider  your  “ Globe  Standing  Seam 
Iron  Roofing  ” combines  more  valuable  points  that  should  commend  it  to  the  public 
than  any  other  I have  ever  seen.  I would  recommend  others,  before  placing  their 
orders,  to  investigate  the  merits  of  your  roofing.  We  used  large  quantities  of  same 
in  the  construction  of  our  Pipe  Works,  and  it  has  proved  perfectly  satisfactory. 

Yours  respectfully,  GEO.  E.  DOWNING. 


Mr.  Geo.  B.  Ceark,  of  Dalton,  N.  Y.,  wrote  us  regarding  our  Roofing,  and, 
without  asking  the  privilege  to  do  so,  we  referred  him  to  the  Binghamton  Glass 
Works,  to  whom  we  had  sold  for  their  own  use  several  lots  of  our  Standing  Seam 
Roofing.  The  letter  below  was  their  reply  to  Mr.  Clark,  who  sent  it  to  us  with  his 
order  :

Mr.  Geo.  B.  Clark,  Dalton,  N.  Y. : 

Dear  sir: — Acknowledging  your  favor  of  the  24th  inst. , we  beg  to  say  that  the 
Globe  Iron  Roofing  Co.  are  using  our  name  without  any  knowledge  of  the  fact  on 
our  part ; but  we  are  not  so  selfish  as  to  want  to  keep  every  good  thing  to  ourselves, 
and  we  are  very  glad  to  do  them  a good  turn  by  saying  that  we  have  had  their  roof- 
ing in  use  on  our  buildings  during  the  past  three  years.  Our  roofs  can  be  called 
neither  steep  nor  flat — in  fact,  not  as  steep  as  some  of  them  should  properly  be  made  ; 
but  we  consider  it  the  best  possible  roof  that  can  be  had,  and  so  far  have  found  no 
leaks  anywhere.  We  would  caution  you,  however,  in  using  metal  roofing  to  be  par- 
ticular and  paint  same  at  least  every  two  years.  With  this  precaution  followed,  we 
believe  that  such  a roof  as  these  people  furnish  will  last  an  ordinary  lifetime. 

Yours  very  truly,  BINGHAMTON  GLASS  WORKS.

has  proved  O.  K. — made  the  nicest  roofing  on  any  building  in  Denver,  and  is  admired 
by  many  persons.  The  merchants  here  only  carry  corrugated  iron  in  stock,  and  lam 
of  the  opinion  I can  sell  large  quantities  of  your  Standing  Seam  Roofing,  as  it  is  so 
much  superior  to  corrugated  iron  for  roofing  purposes.  It  is  certainly  the  best  and 
cheapest  roofing  to  be  had  out  here  in  Colorado.

Gentlemen  It  affords  us  pleasure  to  testify  to  the  superior  qualities  of  your 
iron  roofing  and  corrugated  sidings.  The  roofs  you  put  on  for  us  have  been  entirely 
satisfactory,  never  having  leaked  or  caused  us  a moment’s  trouble.  We  recommend 
them  to  our  friends.  Wishing  you  a prosperous  new  year,  we  are 

Yours  truly,  CHARLES  BARNES  & CO. 


Latonia  Jockey  Club,  Covington,  Ky.,  June  20,  1885. 

To  A.  L.  Andrews,  Sec’y  Globe  Iron  Roofing  and  Corrugating  Co.: 

Dear  sir: — We  cheerfully  state  that  the  work  done  by  your  Company  for  our 
Association  at  the  Latonia  Jockey  Club  Racing  Course,  amounting  to  several  hundred 
squares  of  your  Globe  Iron  Roofing  and  Siding,  was  highly  satisfactory  to  our  Board, 
and  presents  a handsome  appearance.  We  consider  it  to  have  all  the  requirements 
of  a durable  and  perfect  roof.  We  now  regret  that  all  our  buildings  are  not  covered 
with  your  Globe  Roofing,  instead  of  tin  and  shingles. 

Very  respectfully  yours,  FRANK  P.  HELM,  Sec’y  and  Treas. 


Office  of  Monarch  Oil  Co.,  Cincinnati,  O. 

Globe  Iron  Roofing  Co.  : 

Gentlemen  : — It  affords  us  pleasure  to  certify  to  the  merits  of  your  Iron  Roofing 
which  we  have  used  on  our  buildings  here.  Some  few  weeks  ago  an  adjoining  oil 
warehouse  was  totally  consumed  by  fire,  and  ours  severely  threatened  ; but  thanks 
to  its  being  covered  with  iron  roofing  and  siding  was  not  injured.  Would  recom- 
mend same  to  all  parties  building,  as  being  fire  proof,  safe,  and  durable,  as  well  as 
economical.  Respectfully,  MONARCH  OIL  CO. 


We  only  have  room  fior  a ficu'  testimonials.
